So tempting! The HP2's really work well on the 200. Far better then they ever felt on the S4 and much better yet then the S4 with the current 993's. I'll have mull it over.

I say 200 as well... Every post and comment I see put up in the S4 thread, always has subtle hints of misery and disdain... I feel as though the R & c3 would get along better without the bully

Drat. I just bought a 3,000 mile K-sport suspension. Looks brand new rightnow, but I keep seeing pics of rear shock failures like yours. Christ.

Maybe you'll have better luck. My front one blew within months of owning them. Luckily it was covered under warranty. I was unhappy right from the start. Loving the H&R sport/Bilstein sport combo right now. Of course, not quite as low or flexible with ride height but function>form for me.

I too had a horrible experience with Ksport coilovers, but that was about 10 year ago. I've heard they've gotten better, but I haven't bought anything from them since.

Even many of my Honda acquaintances hate them... I'm just waiting for my H&Rs to crack to go custom...

Calipers are out for delivery!! Woot!

Well, this thread is short, but it's coming to a close...

This is quite a bitter sweet moment for me but the time has come to let the S4 go. Sunday it's new owner will take possession of the car that started my love for Audi. Had it not been for my headache of a B5 S4 (they all are) it wouldn't have brought me to the 200, which is certainly my favorite car.

We've been through a lot since August of 2007. Stage 3 withing a few months of owning it, blowing a transmission later that season, spraying nitrous, blowing more transmission pieces and finally blowing a flywheel apart (these are only some of MANY key points in it's life). Car sat for a year then was repaired again. New flywheel, clutch, transmission rebuilt #11, etc and she has been great ever since. My father had driven the car for most of the year in 2012 and loved it.

It has basically sat looking pretty in my garage for the last year or so. Perfect running car for the most part. It became a popular loaner car for my friends too.

Now it's time to pass her along to another brave man. Hopefully the care and respect it has received for the last six years will continue.

Farewell S4.

It's always a sad day to lose four rings...but I'm sure the first WOT run in your new 200 setup will have s4 memories at past.

Nice full disclosure and what a sweet loaner.

Long live the 200!

Long live the 200!

Yay, the correct decision has been made. It's always smart to sell your B5S4, lol.
